"Too Big To Fail"

Sounds like it should have been used in reference to John Holmes drug related impotence in the 1980s.

SEAL- "CRAZY" (1991)

This song is the soundtrack to your life when there is a tension or passion bubbling just underneath the surface, right when something is going to happen.

It starts out of focus, as you sit at an upscale bar looking around, thinking about how SHIT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN.

Either you are going to end up going at it with that person that you just met at the bar, but feel the powerful mutual unspoken lust vibe with
...or that dude in the corner is going to shoot you, or that girl is going to start crying, or those people are going to get into a big argument, or there is going to be a brawl.

This is a lingering, intense, beautiful calm before a potential tsunami of emotion.

LeBron Detox

My fives and fives of loyal readers will know that I love Lebron James like a son. As a result, I have cheered for his Cleveland Cavaliers for the last 2 years.

But this year, I can't.

After his bizarre reaction after Orlando exposed the Cavs as a limited team, and his hints that he was heading out, I sort of detached myself.

Lebron becomes a free agent after this season, so his future is hanging over everything he and the Cavs do this year, which is a stressful nightmare.

If he stays in Cleveland, it would be a beautiful and rare sign of loyalty in modern sports. He's only going to stay if Cleveland makes an effort to get another superstar in his prime who compliments Lebron and gives him a shot at starting a dynasty.

Most likely, he's going elsewhere. New York wants him, but I think he realizes that the team is so bad, that he'd have a better shot at a championship in CLE.

Miami, if they can re-sign the unbelievably brilliant and somehow slightly under the radar Dewayne Wade, would have the best one-two punch in sports if those 2 were on the same team. New York may even try to get both of them next off season....

What I'm trying to say is: I can't let my heart get attached this year. The Cavs are not that good, Lebron is going to make a decision, and I must re-evaluate at that point.

In other NBA news...Allen Iverson, as talented as he is, is a real piece of crap as a professional basketball player. He may not play again, because he didn't like coming off the bench. Ugh.

Steve Nash is so magnificent. Best point guard of his era, and the runaway MVP so far.

It looks like we are heading to yet another Celtics/Lakers final...if everyone is healthy, it could be a CLASSIC. I hope so.

Random things in my head

~~"Bed, Bath and Beyond". BEYOND? This cheese grater has some metaphyscial power that can't be properly explained in a category within the realm of my understanding????

~~Fergie did an interview with The Advocate. The highlights: she's bisexual, and her husband is large in the pants.

Wow, this woman is such a crazy rebel! Soooo cool! tee hee, woo hoo.

Here are some other things that we know about this awesome rebel badass "Fergie":

1. She's a big girl, and she doesn't cry.
2. She likes to get "london bridged".
3. She likes to pee herself.
4. She used to do crystal meth,
5. She likes to dress like a boy,
6. She likes to rub gasoline on her stomach while dogs bark and smack her in the face,
7. She likes to dress up like a bottle of Milk of Magnesia and expel lit candles from her backside,
8. She likes to get her chest whipped while the DVD of Howard's End is played at full blast,
9. She likes to get tied up and thrown into the garbage,
10. She likes to be force fed spicy food by underdevelpoed men named Roger

Sarah, you are already, for inexplicable reasons, one of the top recording acts of the decade...you can drop this poseur act and be real now.

Joshua

Dolly Parton, ignored the warnings of her friends and family about the creepy mean man who lived on the other side of the railroad tracks, wandered onto his property with her lovebags, his dog almost killed her, he invited her in...they spend all day and night talking, he asked her to stay, they fell in love, and got married. Dolly admits that all along she was looking for a long haired freaky loner.

This song is creepy, but hot.

Rihanna

Even before "the incident", her entire music career was filled with songs about her role as an emotionally and physically abused sucker for her man's love. This phenomenon has never been captured by an artist before, and it makes her all the more essential. Yet, it's harder post-incident to not feel that this might be too personal for mainstream pop audiences.

Rihanna might be one of the most physcially beautiful celebrities that we have ever seen...but one gets the sense that she is struggling with serious issues emotionally.

W Quote of the Day

"Nobody can threaten this country! Oh, they may be able to bomb a buildings..."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO! STOP SINGING! STOP DANCING! STOP MAKING FACES!

How fitting that this performance was on September 11.

17 years later, people died and it was a nightmare.

This was a more subtle form of terrorism.

Misheard lyrics from my youth

1. I grew up thinking that in Crazy For You, Madonna sang "Two by two their bodies decompose", you know, to be all goth-y on her big torch song ballad. (It's actually "Two by two their bodies become one", which is not actually possible, unlike my version, which is a scientific fact.)

2. I also thought that on "If This Is It", Huey Lewis didn't actually sing "You'd say anything to avoid a fight", but the more psychedelic "You'd say anything to a butterfly", which makes the song 47x better.

Stop typing Adam...stop typing...
